'''November 15th, 1889:''' After removing Prime Minister Viscount of Ouro Preto from power at the request of young republican officers, Deodoro da Fonseca Sends a letter for Pedro to appoint the Viscount of Maracaju (then minister of war) as PM and Pedro would reluctantly accept it later that day. On the afternoon José do Patrocínio refused to allow republicans to commemorate in the Rio de Janeiro city council. During the night Deodoro gets a visit from a messenger sent by some republicans to tell a lie about Pedro II appointing Gaspar da Silveira Martins (a man who stole Fonseca’s lover 40 years ago) for Prime Minister. Deodoro, knowing this makes no sense, he quietly goes to the government palace to talk with the new PM and the Emperor, and is decided that the people behind this messenger should somehow be arrested at least provisionally, in the next day the news gets to republican circles who get furious and start organizing an uprising and so they march in front of the government palace. Deodoro asks for a compromise but the rebels answer that they will not accept any compromises. thenThen loyal battalions are immediately called to end the rebellion and escort them to prison. (Brazil)
